IFSA 2003 POST-DEADLINE PAPER SUBMISSIONS

The IFSA 2003 Technical Program Committee will accept submissions for post-deadline papers. Click the "Submit a post-deadline abstract" link to the left to begin the submission process.

Due to the publication and organization of this conference, post-deadline papers will be poster presentations. These submissions will not be printed in the abstract book or proceedings. However, we will make every effort to organize a handout and table of contents for post-deadline submissions.

IFSA 2003 Abstract and Paper Submission Process

Abstracts and papers submitted to the IFSA2003 conference will be peer-reviewed under the supervision of the Technical Program Committee (TPC). One-page abstracts in Adobe PDF format should be submitted through this Web site after January 6, 2003.

The authors accepted must submit three paper copies of the full paper according to the standards noted upon registration at the conference. The standards for the full papers will appear soon on this Web site.

Guidelines:

• Abstracts must be limited to one (8.5 X 11/US letter) page and submitted electronically as Adobe .pdf files. (See www.adobe.com for more information on .pdf files.)

• Since the accepted abstracts will be bound without reformatting, we recommend authors use a 12-point serif font such as Times or Times New Roman. Please include the title, author(s), and affiliation(s) in your abstract.

• The TPC will review the abstracts for relevance to the conference scope, content, originality, and quality standards as set by the American Physical Society (APS) paper guidelines.

• The reviews will be conducted electronically, hence the abstract is required to be submitted electronically.

• The abstract submission will require the author's name, affiliation, mail addresses, telephone and fax numbers and an e-mail address.

• If submission is co-authored, the principal authors' information should be listed and all correspondence will proceed through that person.

• Authors should indicate whether an oral or poster paper is preferred.

• Authors will be notified that the abstract was received, and after the review, of the acceptance, acceptance with revisions, or rejection.

• The authors of accepted abstracts must submit three paper copies of the full paper according to the standards noted upon registration at the conference. The standards for full papers will appear soon on this web site.

• Full papers will be reviewed by referees selected by the TPC. The TPC Chair will forward any required revisions or additions to authors before publication.

• Corrected final manuscripts and PDF electronic files for the IFSA Proceedings need to be received by December 31, 2003. A final version of the paper should be sent to the American Nuclear Society, Scientific Publication Department, 555 N. Kensington Avenue LaGrange Park, IL 60526 USA by the end of December 2003.  An electronic file (.pdf format) should be uploaded to the American Nuclear Society web site at http://www.ans.org/pubs/journals/fst/ifsa
